New York (US) hardcore group EVERY TIME I DIE is currently recording new material at GodCity Studio in Salem, Massachusetts with producer Kurt Ballou of CONVERGEKeith Buckley, lyricist and vocalist, of Every Time I Die states:

“Kurt Ballou had always intimidated the living sh*t out of me, so I was overjoyed when the decision was made to record our next record with him at GodCity and I mean that sincerely. I’ve been a fan of his work for over a decade. His records are terrifying and moving and they sound like they were written and recorded under great duress, which is exactly how this style of music should be made. This month we join the pantheon. I couldn’t be more excited to see what he helps us learn about our own band that we didn’t realize for the past 15 years.”

Immediately following the recording process, Every Time I Die hits the road for the entirety of the US Warped Tour 2014. Stay tuned for further album details.

Last month, SKELETONWITCH headlined Pitchfork‘s “Show No Mercy” showcase at South By Southwest in Austin, Texas, where they debuted a brand new song. You can view their entire performance below.

The band, which spent most of 2012 touring (including a rigorous 10-week headlining run during which they played 63 shows in 65 days), will headline the Calgary Metal Fest in June.

SKELETONWITCH recently completed the “U.S. Abomination” headlining tour with support from MUTILATION RITES and HAVOK.

The follow-up to 2009’s “Breathing The Fire”, SKELETONWITCH‘s latest album, “Forever Abomination”, was recorded at a Los Angeles studio with producer Matt Hyde (SLAYER, MACHINE HEAD, KREATOR). The effort included the track “The Infernal Resurrection”, the demo version of which appears as the B-side on the final seven-inch of a limited-edition vinyl trilogy. This marked SKELETONWITCH‘s first recording with the group’s new drummer, former DEMIRICOUS skin-pounder Dustin Boltjes.

The vinyl reissues of the SKELETONWITCH‘s breakthrough releases “Breathing The Fire” and “Beyond The Permafrost” are now available from the Prosthetic store. Both are available in three variants — splatter, half-and-half and 180-gram black wax — and feature gatefold Stoughton “tip-on” record jackets. The black vinyl versions of both albums were made available in select retail stores in April 2012.
